Bliss Gets a Coaching Job?: Former Baylor head coach Dave Bliss has been named the new head coach of the CBA’s Dakota Wizards. Bliss, who resigned during the aftermath of the Patrick Dennehy murder investigation, was one of five candidates for the position to replace Casey Owens, whose contract was not renewed. In the last days of Bliss’ Baylor program, he admitted to paying $40,000 for Dennehy and one other player’s tuition under the guise of “scholarships,” failed to notify school administration of failed player drug tests, and told players to tell investigators that Dennehy paid for his tuition by selling drugs. Last June, former Baylor player Carlton Dotson plead guilty to killing Dennehy in June of 2003, and is now serving a 35-year prison sentence. The Bismarck, N.D.-based team is owned by Steve McCormick. [8/26/05]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
